Welcome To Leo Season
Today the Sun, our vital life force, moves into its place of power and comfort in Leo. Leo is an fire energy, very much focused on the matters of the heart, where love, passion, and expression reigns. Leo is represented by the lion and demands the same kind of regal attention. It represents strength, pride, and passion in all forms.
The Sun moving from Cancer to Leo is a welcomed changed by all. The Cancer season topics and themes of the home and family dynamic had many of us broken hearted on some level. We got double-whammied with the eclipses and having us beat and broken down before we could breakthrough and emerge as the king of the jungle we actually are.
Leo season will bring romance, (the fun, playful kind), to the forefront. We want what the heart wants and the heart wants to be loved! We want to be acknowledge and appreciated. We want to be applauded for all we've gone through. We want to stand on the center stage with the spotlight on us, and relish in the attention. This is a time where our romantic relationships and our creative projects will thrive. Anything that we are passionate about will take the limelight, and with the roar of the lion encouraging us to express ourselves in whatever ways we need, will not only be heard, but will be accepted.
Our playful sides shine under this energy, and we want to have fun! We are generous with our time and attention, and also with our money which you should be cautious about. Our fun-loving, free flowing spirit may spend money that we actually don't have.
Although this energy will pick us up and give us a strength we've been lacking, it does come with some cautions. Because the Leo energy is loud and demands attention, we could find ourselves acting overly dramatic and emotional about things that there's just no need of. We are seeking attention any way we can with this energy so be cautioned that your not looking for attention in the wrong ways. We could become overly expressive, oversharing, over emoting, and taking the lead role in our own play just a tad bit too far.
Because this Leo energy won't really be at it's most powerful until after the 8th of August, be cautious of how the ebb and flow of emotions actually effect you. We are still purging some pain from our heart-space while we are distancing ourselves from the Cancer and eclipse season. We have once last cry in us before emerging as the powerhouse we are after the first week of August.
Watch out for the wounded lion, as they tend to lash out causing damage to those around them before they retreat to lick their wounds. You'll want to exercise damage control when emotions are high and tempers are flaring. Regardless of how the lion within you feels at this moment, please know that you will be feeling a sense of power and strength within you once we get the first week of August under our belt.

Full Moon In Capricorn/Partial Lunar Eclipse
Today we have our full moon taking place in Capricorn, but this full moon is hyped up on some astral energies creating a huge pivot point, and crossroads in the energetic paths we walk. This partial lunar eclipse makes the full moon powers even that much more amplified, and this has been the turning point many of us have been waiting for.
We've been in weird times these past few months, and all the energy from the New Year has been building within us, breaking us down, building us back up, and now, with this celestial event bringing an ending or closure to your life, the path forward will be revealed and it will be much more aligned with our soul's purpose than we've ever been before.
This portal of energies opened up for us back in June around the Summer solstice. This has been a time of both chaos and clarity, as the accelerated manifestation window sucked us in and did some re-arranging to our lives. Basically, the Universe was shaking its head at the progress (or lack thereof) that we've done in trying to align with our soul's purpose. Because we need to be at a certain point of our evolution and growth by the time 2020 rolls around, the Universe gave us a kick in the butt during the first eclipse (full solar eclipse in Cancer) and now, we see what gets eclipsed out of our lives for good under this partial lunar eclipse energy.
You will likely see a bit of drama unfold in the sector of your life the eclipse is spotlighting (check your birth chart to see what houses this event is triggering for you), there is also going to be a door slamming on something from your past. This eclipse axis effects the Capricorn - Cancer axis, which is career, money, reputation, structures, masculine energy; versus, home life, nurturing, emotions, family dynamics, intuition, and the feminine energy.
The work/life balance needs to be re-evaluated.
On a global platform, we are watching this Capricorn energy go to work, by breaking down some outdated structures in our government, politics, religious bodies, and other systematic structures. This is where the masks start falling off of people revealing the control, and power of manipulation.
This full moon in Capricorn, lunar eclipse is also working very closely with Pluto, the God of the underworld and of great transformation, to make sure that the changes we undergo are deep on a soul level, and will be transformed under the light of the Sun.
For many people, this energy has been confusing, yet at the same time, has provided a much clearer picture about some truths and realities that maybe weren't being accepted in ones life up until now.
This is a pivot point. There is an applied pressure to our relationships and money situations right now, forcing us to expose the darkness within, all for the purpose of creating a more stable foundation for us to work upon as we move into the future.

Dream Like There is No Tomorrow
With the last few days of our accelerated manifestation state coming to an end, we really have to get serious and focus on giving our vision work all we’ve got.My weekly subscribers have listened to me go on for months now, about how and why doing vision work is so important, capturing a vision of what our lives would look like if we could be living out our dreams.This accelerated manifestation state started back in January as we entered into the New Year, the year of building and creation.The Universe has asked to to dream such a detailed dream for ourselves and to hold that vision so strong in our minds that even the darkest, most toughest challenges couldn't have broken our focus. But the problem is, we did, we lost focus.We have had to continuously pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off and reinvent both ourselves and the ideal life we’d like to be living, more times than anyone was really counting on.The first half of this year was about building and creating ourselves, our inner worlds, filled with healing past pain and traumas, rebuilding our understanding and belief system, and raising our vibration high enough to become a permanent fixture in this 5D collective community.The first half of the year, as challenging as it was, revealed such truth, such strength within us that if we weren’t so energetically tired from reconstructing our energetic bodies, we may just have celebrated a bit more for coming out on the other end.Last week’s solstice marked the half way point in our year, in the astrological and energetic calendar. And now that the portal, the wormhole of time, has opened to prepare for our upcoming eclipse season, holding a vision for ourselves and our future is of the utmost importance.We have our first of two eclipses taking place in July, starting off with a bang early next week. The New Moon in Cancer is a solar (Sun) eclipse which historically adds something to our lives that we never thought we could obtain in such a short time frame.These aren’t random events, they are actually events that were destined to take place in your life path eventually, but because of the accelerated manifestation state, the Universe speeds up time and has these situations gifted to us during the solar eclipse.The second eclipse will take place on July 16th, which a Full Moon partial lunar (Moon) eclipse in Capricorn. Historically, this energy will remove something from our lives that we’ve been stalling on removing ourselves. Maybe we are in a relationship that we know isn’t right for us, maybe we are in a job that is sucking the life out of us, maybe we are holding onto such pain and trauma that we are unable to open ourselves up to anything new entering our worlds.This eclipse energy will remove it very quickly and will help to transform our energy into a new vibration to be successful in the second half of the year.We will see the physical results of all the changes we’ve been needing to take place to align ourselves more with the vision of our life we’ve been focusing on, in this second half of the year.Because the eclipse energy is far too intense, unstable, chaotic, and fragmented, we will not be focusing on manifesting while the Universe does its thing. That’s why it’s super important to focus all your energy into your vision work now while the energy still supports us to be manifesting.Once the planetary events start taking place next week, we need to really sit back and watch all the dynamics that will be taking place as the portal, the wormhole, begins to speed up and expand, projecting us through time, through our life lessons and through the accelerated manifestation state. We have done all we can do up until the eclipse season takes over.We need to practice surrendering and going with the flow. The Universe knows what’s best for us as "they" can see our life plan laid out like a beautiful map.The events that need to take place, the meetings with certain people that need to happen, the completion of certain life lessons and soul contracts will be reorganized under the guidance and authority of the cosmos and we just need to sit back and watch it all come together.These times are not going to be easy. The highs are very high, while the lows are exceptionally low. We may not be in total agreement or understanding of the events that are going to take place in the month of July, but with some time, and a whole lot of faith and patience, we will surely see how it all connects together and how it is essential for our growth and evolvement.So for the rest of the week, tap into the current energies of the Universe and dream a bigger dream. Get lost in your daydreams, explore your dream state. Review and repeat your vision in your mind until it is so strong, so clear, that you can see it happening in your mind’s eye.Most of all, create only the vision. Release the control over HOW all of this is suppose to happen, and trust that the control over the vision you hold is the only control you’ll need to see your dreams come to life.As always, if you require any assistance navigating the current energies of your life, please book a session online, and I'd be more than happy to help guide you through.Marlee HenryPsychic AdvisorThe Energy BoutiqueTo make sure you don't miss a post, SUBSCRIBE TO THE VIBE for Astrological updates, Psychic Insights, discounts, and online workshop and course info, delivered right to your inbox.
Full Moon In Sagittarius
Today, our Lunar Goddess is in her full illuminated state, embracing and harnessing all of the Sagittarian power for us to work with. The full moon is a powerful time, but only if you understand the energy that it offers and how to harness it for your own benefit. It is a time of heightened emotions and healing energy. Our feelings on certain topics increase and rise as we grow towards the full moon status, where they reach the tipping point of acknowledgement before we release them all together.
Understanding the lunar cycle can provide us with a valuable insight into the changing energies that impact our lives throughout the month. Some people like to believe that the changes that are experienced during the full moon cycle is nothing more than coincidence, but scientific studies now show that there are hormonal changes that occur throughout the Moon’s phases explaining the increase in hospital visits, crazy attitudes, and irrational decisions.
While full moons are often accompanied by sleep disturbances and mood swings, those who are able to prepare themselves adequately can use the energy to their benefit to make significant changes and improvements in their lives.
The Sagittarius Full Moon is a fiery energy, ushering in bursts of creativity, and insight. Sagittarian energy gives you a feeling of fearlessness, and the courage to act quickly. With this potent energy, you may look at yourself, your life, or a particular situation in a new light, as Sagittarius helps encourage you to change or gain a new perspective.
Sagittarius invites fun and liveliness into life, as it is a sign that also encourages spontaneous and adventurous energy. If you find yourself being challenged in life right now, Sagittarius will help you find, and hold onto your joy. It's a fun spirited sign that will encourage even the worst "negative Nancy" to find the silver lining in their situation and raise the vibration within by focusing on the good instead of the bad.
The energy of Sagittarius will encourage you to let go of all expectations and the burden of your responsibilities, focusing your attention instead on the new experiences that have yet to come.
It is said that when the full moon is in Sagittarius, all zodiac signs are going to get a taste of the Sagittarius way of life. For some, this can be exciting, embracing the impulsive and adventurous energies that this will trigger. They will follow their hearts, enjoying the true freedom and allowing it to bring a new element of change and excitement to their lives.
For others, however, this can be a frightening experience that will disrupt their well planned and organized lifestyles. Instead of fighting this energy, embrace it. Open your mind, body and soul to the positive energies that come with the full moon in Sagittarius. Instead of allowing yourself to worry about all that could possibly go wrong, focus your attention on the possibilities before you, trusting that you are capable of whatever it takes to reach them.
Internal conflicts may arise under this full moon as the Sun is situated in Gemini’s side of logic and reason, and the moon is in Sagittarius’ side of living in faith. It’s important to find balance between the two signs and their influence within us. If you are analytical, and always needing to know all of the steps in the process, you may miss important clues that are meant to guide you in the right direction. When you live by faith only, you miss the experience of trial and error which ultimately leads to your growth. Find balance between faith and logic to support you in moving forward.
Emotions usually run pretty high around full moons, but this time around they may be easily triggered as we are also being influenced by other planetary influences. These planetary influences are digging up past emotional wounds, which might make you feel vulnerable. What and who is triggering your emotions?
If you have been struggling with pains from the past, this is the time to address them. Don’t shy away from the painful memories or difficult feelings that are associated with your past. Instead, embrace these experiences, allowing yourself to accept all that you have been through and the ways that you can improve moving forward. Applying these concepts to your life will allow you to let go of the past, freeing yourself from this negative energy, and move forward with a clean slate.
With the Moon in Sagittarius, you may be triggered to explore higher realms of spiritual truth, as Sagittarius is known to in the zodiac as the teacher, and the explorer. As a forward thinker, it also encourages you to look further down the path, and broaden your perspective, and concentrating on the bigger picture.
As always, if you require any assistance navigating the current energies of your life, please book a session online, and I'd be more than happy to help guide you through.

The Hierophant
THE HIEROPHANT (05) is the 5th card in the Tarot's Major Arcana. It embodies the masculine energy, and the counterpart to THE HIGH PRIESTESS (02), serving as a figure of religious or spiritual guidance.
THE HIEROPHANT (05) can closely resemble a Pope or Religious teacher, as he blesses those who seek his counsel with wisdom and other worldly knowledge. He appears in the Tarot's artistry as a figure sitting between two pillars in a sacred space such as a temple. He wears 3 different coloured robes along with a 3 tiered crown, both symbolizing the 3 worlds he connects with (the conscious, the sub-conscious, and the super-conscious realms).
THE HIEROPHANT (05) points one hand to the sky funnelling blessings from heaven, as the other hand points to the blessings here on earth. Those who kneel before him, do so with the intention of learning life's mysteries, unlocking the secrets of the Universe, and seeing the integration of the blessings from both heaven and earth.
The energy surrounding this card when pulled in a reading, suggests an individual seeking spiritual wisdom, aligning with a traditional community of like-minded people, and entering into a new phase of spiritual development.
Saturn Goes Retrograde
Today, Saturn, the Lord of Karma and ruler over structures, authority, roles and responsibilities goes retrograde in Capricorn until September 18th, 2019. This major, heavy-hitting planet embodies the Grandfather energy; strict, hardworking, tough love, all about working hard and taking your time to perfect your craft, the authority figure, and delegator of life lessons, is going to take us a few steps backwards in our lives so that we can destroy anything that left that we can hide behind.
If you are hiding being an illusion of your life, an unauthentic mask of who you are, and holding onto old outdated beliefs and structures that aren't serving you, Saturn will help you see what needs to be removed. There's a karmic element at play here where the old, present, and future parts of ourselves will be blended together, integrated for our highest good so that we may come out of this retrograde fast tracked onto our path forward with the karmic energy of the past having been cleared away, while we fully embrace the newly transformed self.
This particular retrograde is a life changer. We will see it play out on a global scale through the banking systems, government bodies, and religious communities as they fall, crumbling into a heap of old energy that isn't strong enough to weather our modern day storms. There is already evidence of this taking place on a global platform, and Saturn has a hand in it.
This retrograde is also very potent because Saturn is joining Pluto in Retrograde in Capricorn as well, bringing all of the power and control issues to light. Pluto is triggering the darkest parts of ourselves, the not-so-good emotions surrounding obsession, guilt, fear, doubts, insecurities, and anger, so that we can use these darker emotions to transform them into light.
Together, Saturn and Pluto will do a retrograde dance over the next 4.5 - 5 months causing all of our lives a bit of re-organization and refinement. Because this is taking place in Capricorn, the focus of this disruption, all in divine order, is to focus on the roles and responsibilities we have in life, and to breakdown the restrictions we've been living under in order to truly live more freely in the new world we are creating.
Our foundations, global systems, and structures are outdated, and because we - as a collective - are no longer satisfied with the happenings in the world on the global platform, an uprising of humanity will assist in helping those structures crumble as we are ready to build new.
We are in the year of building, the year of creation, but there are safety and financial concerns building a new structure on a foundation that isn't strong enough to withhold the new design. With this visual, we can clearly see that the cornerstones of the existing foundation need to be restrengthened, re-supported, re-poured in order to be structurally sound.
This is Saturn, the structural engineer coming in to overlook the project, and we've received a failing grade. Construction is halted to a stop so we can bulldoze the structure and its footings, only to start over and build it right from the beginning. And there's Pluto, the General Foreman of the job, irate and furious that the job is costing him money, he's insulted that his position of authority has been overruled by the engineer. This is HIS job, and HIS word goes.
Now he is obsessed, trying to hold onto any inch of the job he can save, not realizing that his need to control the situation when it's in the best interest of the future population that will house this structure, preventing what will be a huge, tragic disaster, where the structure could fall, endangering people's lives, is holding up the path of moving forward. He needs to stop, put himself in time out, and realize that he is wasting precious time and energy trying to protect and save something that is beyond repair. His only option now is to harness the power of his anger and disappointment and focus on rebuilding this project properly from the ground up.
With this shift in perspective, after surrendering to the situation that cannot be changed, he pools together his resources and gets the project on track and built the way the engineer suggested in the first place.
Surprisingly, the project gets completed much sooner than he had anticipated because the group of workers all got on the same page, believed in the same goal, and together, their energy accelerated them down their projected timeline leading them into the successful completion of the project. This is a perfect example of Saturn and Pluto being retrograde in Capricorn, and what we can expect over the next few months.
The key here, is to surrender. Recognize the fight you are fighting, see the reasons of why you are trying so hard to hold onto the outdated structures in your life KNOWING that they aren’t solid or strong enough to house the new dreams you are looking to build, and refocus your power and energy to embrace the change and start building new.
As always, if you require any assistance navigating these energies, please book a session online, and I'd be more than happy to help guide you through.
A Friendly Reminder
Reminder: Emotions are ENERGY = E in MOTION = EMOTION... There is more power in the negative emotions then we can seem to muster up in the good emotions... Think of how easy it is to be sad... To be angry! And now think of how hard it is to be joyful and excited... The POWER lies in realizing that anger is a necessary EMOTION... It shows us where in our lives we need the biggest change... Anxiety shows us where we need to release NEEDING control... Sadness shows us where we once had happiness... And all of the PAIN shows us where we need to heal!! We are going through some rough energy right now that is causing people to abandon their dreams, their path, and themselves. People are turning around and running back to the life that they prayed so hard to get away from... All because we grew tired of charging forward. Make no mistake, this spiritual journey is HARD, it’s CONFUSING, it’s RAW... But this is also how you get to the life you’ve been dreaming of! So if you’re tired, rest. But don’t run back to the dark just because you know what awaits you there. The light has so much to offer you but it’s going to require you to TRUST and have FAITH like you’ve never had before! So take all of those POWERFUL not-so-good emotions and say “Hey! Thanks you for guiding me... Thank you for visiting me... But there’s the effing door!!”
Pluto Goes Retrograde
Today, Pluto - the planet of power, control, obsessions, and transformation - goes retrograde in Capricorn. Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008, creating quite a shift within us individually as well as on the global scene.
Our Government, Politics, Religion, and humanity as a collective has been breaking down the long standing structures that are no longer working for us. Capricorn rules authority and the roles and responsibilities we have, especially when in the public eye. Pluto's entrance into Capricorn has brought us some very upsetting shifts in these authoritative structures, which piece by piece are crumbling to the ground.
We need these changes. We are now living in a world that needs the right kind of structures put into place for our futures to be supported. The old paradigms are not strong enough to handle the power of the reality we are currently living in and will never survive the weight of change we are needing in our futures.
On an individual level we have been working hard to embrace the roles and responsibilities we've been given here on earth, especially where our careers are concerned. Many people have realized that they aren't in the right role and have been making huge changes to align themselves more with a career and the responsibilities that are in more in alignment with their heart and Soul.
Anytime a planet goes retrograde, the energetic influence that is normally projected and expressed outwards in our lives, then becomes focused on our inner worlds where we have an opportunity to transform the not-so-nice feelings surrounding the topics and themes of obsessions, control, and power.
Because Pluto is an outer planet, the energetic influence of it going retrograde doesn't cause chaos and mayhem like the inner planets such as Mercury does when retrograde, but instead the energy shift is very subtle as we take our attention away from the outer world and start moving within. Don't be fooled though, the energy of the outer planets going retrograde has a huge effect on us, and the intensity of the transformation is very much felt and seen.
We will have 5 months of allowing the power and influence of Pluto to dive deep within our consciousness to allow the darker emotions we have surrounding power, control, and obsessions to be raised to the surface where they can be acknowledged and transformed into something lighter. This will have you recognizing very clearly where your obsessions lie. It could be obsessive thinking, obsessive eating, obsessive habits that aren't really serving you.
You may see areas in yourself that require you to free up your control issues, or even show you where you need to exert more control and discipline in your life.
This will also be a time where you fully embrace your power. This time will show you where you've given your power away in order for you to take it back.
The key word here is transform. We aren't trying to acknowledge these issues for release, we want to transform them from a state of darkness into a state of light. We want to harness the power we put into these not-so-nice topics, and transform that power into focusing on what GOOD obsessions we can consume ourselves with.
We want to see where we try to control elements in our lives and work on releasing the compulsive need to have everything happen in a certain way. We want to transform these issues into a source of power.
Be mindful, especially this week as the shift begins. Pay attention to what themes and topics are triggered for you as the healing journey gets started. It's likely that the areas revealed to you in this first week will be what gets an overhaul in your life over the next 5 months.
To get an in-depth look at what areas of your life will be affected during this energy you can download your monthly forecast, or book an Astro or Psychic Reading session online.
Venus Enters Aries
The Goddess of love, beauty, and worth moves out of her super emotional, sexual, and fantasy-like state while being in the watery, emotional sign of Pisces, and enters into Aries. Venus moving into Aries will scream passion as Mars (Aries' ruler) is the male counterpart to Venus. We've all heard of men coming from Mars, and women coming from Venus, so this match up will prove to have our love lives steaming hot.
Venus brings with her a very high set of values as she knows her worth. She is gentle, kind, calm, beautiful and wants nothing more than to be in a love so perfect that it embodies the duality of the divine feminine and masculine energies. Aries, full of passion, goes after what he wants and when he's got the Goddess on his mind there is no stopping him from making her love his, for all eternity.
This energetic influence will have us tapping into the fierce, raw, powerful energy of Aries to go after what it is we desire. Venus will have us only desiring things that will be around for the long haul. She wants commitment, she wants a partner of the same value and worth.
When these two get together there is a beautiful exchange of energies creating a balance among the two. Venus softens Aries edges, calms his aggression to a level that isn't overbearing. She shows this warrior sign a love like no other and in turn, he inspires her to go after what she wants in life with an intensity that can't be denied. Life is about to heat up!
Where romance is concerned you can expect a fiery passion that you and your partner may not have felt in a while. If you are single, this transit may just be what you need to go after the person you've had your eye on. The courage and bravery that Aries lends us to go after what we want is exactly what we need to initiate a passionate romance.
As much fun as all this sexual energy can be, it's important to realize that as powerful as this transit is, it is also where Venus is at her weakest point. Venus has to fight hard to not allow the forceful Aries energy to push her buttons and send her over the boiling point. Let's remember that there is a very fine line between passion and anger. Venus' fuse is very short under this transit, making her able to go from being caught up in all this passion to needing time to herself to regroup.
Now that we are in Taurus season (Venus rules Taurus) the stubbornness Venus embodies can be all too real and powerful during this transit. Once her foot is down and she's drawn a line in the sand, Aries’ passion and charm are rendered useless as she shuts that part of herself off.
There is a tipping point in this delicate dance between the two, where they will be magnetically drawn and stuck together, and then all of a sudden repel against each other making a connection damn near impossible.
Because Venus just provided a closure to her relationship sector while being in Pisces, (the last sign of the zodiac) be warned that this passionate love encounter in Aries, is merely a rebound.
Of course, long-term relationships can withstand the passion of this transit, and new relationships are likely to form, but it is a very hot and cold connection until Venus moves into her place of power in Taurus which will take place on May 15th.
So the moral of the story is, be passionate, go after what you want in love and money, and never forget your worth. Make sure you honour your boundaries and know when to pull away from the romance to get your head back on straight. And if nothing else, enjoy the ride!
As always, if you require any assistance navigating these energies, please book a session online, and I'd be more than happy to help guide you through.

Welcome To Taurus Season
The Sun has moved out of the fiery, assertive, passionate, sign of Aries getting our new energetic calendar off to the right foot. He now moves into Taurus where we will take what we started for ourselves in Aries, (new boundaries, new passions, new projects, new jobs, new relationships) and use that as a foundation to build upon.
Taurus is the second zodiac sign in the wheel and is an earth sign. It is ruled by the Goddess Venus who inspires Taurus to go after anything that brings them pleasure, joy, and security. Taurus is a very sensual sign, trusting the body senses to guide them to true comfort. They reward themselves with things of beauty, lush fabrics, sparkling objects and trinkets. They also find value in food as they are all about feeling that comfort.
Their overall motivation in life is to seek security by working hard to build the structures that will have long-term rewards to their home and finances. There is no sign more "down-to-earth" than a Taurus. So much so, they believe that slow and steady always wins the race. They enjoy routine, structure, stability, and being productive.
When the Taurus energy is strong, we can tap into all of these great qualities and really build the foundations we need in life to launch off of. Taureans aren't afraid of hard work or getting their hands dirty if it means they see the reward quickly, knowing that the job is done well and going to stand the test of time. They are by no means materialistic people, however, they do connect deeply with physical items as they represent their journey, their success, and their reward.
There is a caution with this Taurean energy, which is that we may become so grounded, so centered, so methodical in our approach to building and creating new foundations for ourselves, that, “slow and steady” turns into “so slow that nothing will get done”. Tauraens are by no means lazy, but often get so consumed about how to go about initializing a plan that they never really get started.
They are probably the most stubborn of all the signs, and as they represent the ram, there is really no wonder why. When they are defending themselves, they dig their heels into the earth below, lower their head exposing their horns, and kick up dust to show that they aren't messing around. If you do happen to push a Taurean’s boundary, you will be charged at without a second thought and the great head of the ram will knock you on your butt.
If you are lucky enough to love a Taurus, you will see their undying loyalty, constant nurturing (especially with food being offered to you the minute you enter their home), and a very kind-hearted soul that will do anything for those they love.
They are a fixed sign, meaning they have a hard time with change. They aren't likely to make many changes to their lives as they value routine and structure above all else. Even with life's circumstance forcing them to change, they often choose to be dragged than to go with the flow.
These qualities are exactly what we need right now coming out of Aries season. The spark within us has been re-ignited, our passion is leading the way, and now we can take everything we realized we wanted over the past month, and get to building.
Our actions are much more calculated and methodical now. We have no problem accessing the patience required to get the job done right, as we are focused on the long-term now, more than ever.
We also get a chance under this influence to focus on nurturing the body. Spoil yourself with spa days, massages, salt baths. Buy new clothes, a small trinket to represent your current stage of success. And although comfort food is on the top of the list, be cautioned that that kind of comfort is only good for you in moderation.
As always, if you require any assistance navigating these energies, please book a session online, and I'd be more than happy to help guide you through.

Full Moon in Libra
Many of us awoke to the exact moment that our Lunar Goddess struck the 29th degree of Libra where she was at her most powerful and fully complete. This Full Moon is the 2nd Full Moon in Libra this past month, which makes it a bit rare and a whole lot of special.
I invite you to think back to March 20th, when we had our first Full Moon in Libra at a 0 degree. It was the 5th Full Moon in a row at a 0 degree, meaning it brought a brand new, clean slate for us to work with in the new energetic calendar.
The first Full Moon in Libra opened the door to some healing that needed to take place within our relationships. We were being asked to think about our own individuality as the Sun was newly in Aries opposing and applying tension to the Moon in Libra, which had us focusing on who we share ourselves with.
Aries and Libra are opposing signs, meaning they sit directly across from each other on the zodiac wheel. We were being asked to examine who we are as an individual while being a part of a team. The energy was just getting started under that moon and didn't really have a chance to build momentum. We were under some other planetary influences at that time (mostly Piscean influences) that derailed any kind of action we wanted to take to balance the scales of our emotional and logical state surrounding the relationship issues.
Here, we get a second chance to not only review the, “I vs. We, Me vs. You, Us vs. Them” equation, and have some details illuminated that we may not have seen in our lives under the influence of the last moon.
This Full Moon in Libra at a 29th degree is a critical point for bringing something full circle. We are now under the right energetic forces to not only see things from a different perspective, but we are able to actual DO something about it should our realizations inspire us to take charge and make change.
This would be an action that would set you off in a whole new way of thinking about yourself and how you feel being part of a relationship. We have some great opportunities for growth here as the Full Moon in Libra acts as a mirror for us to see our own roles and energies that we bring to the team.
This Full Moon in Libra is also favourable because Mercury (the planet of information, communication, and expression) has just moved into fiery Aries, making our ability to piece things together at the speed of light a super power that we can all benefit from at this time.
We don't have very long to tap into the Arien energy to take action and start new initiatives where our relationships are concerned, as Aries season comes to an end tomorrow when the Sun moves into Taurus. We do benefit by that energy, as what is revealed to us under the Full Moon influence can be built upon with the hardworking, nose to the grindstone Taurean energy.
We also get a bit of help in the love and passion area after coming to the realizations about our relationships under the Full Moon in Libra when Venus (the Goddess of love, beauty, money and worth) slips into Aries tomorrow where the fiery passion of Mars (Aries's ruler) brings its intensity, energy, and drive to all things love related.
Take a few moments today as the Full Moon energy still lingers on, to think about the themes and topics of relationships and your individuality within them. The Moon moves into deep, intense, probing Scorpio, where the issues that have come up for you surrounding the energy of this moon will be analyzed under the detective mind of the Scorpian energy.
As always, if you require any assistance navigating these energies, please book a session online, and I'd be more than happy to help guide you through.

Mercury Enters Aries
Mercury (the planet of communication, information, and expression) has successfully survived its weakest placement while in Pisces, to emerge full of life into Aries as we start a brand new energetic cycle.
Although being in Aries isn't the best placement for Mercury to be in, it's a much better energy than when it was clouded with watery emotions and confusing intuition in the depths of Pisces.
Aries is a fire sign, and full of impulse, spontaneity, bravery and confidence. Mercury being an air sign, mixed with the fire energy can make for quick thinking, bold ideas, and impulsive actions and speech.
Our mental planes have been struggling for some time, so coming online again, especially in such a fiery sign such as Aries, will prove to be both rewarding and challenging. We find the benefits of this transit to be lightening fast thinking, the ability to have such a greater perspective of life and the inner workings, the instantaneous piecing together of pieces and details that didn't quite make sense before, and the ability to communicate with confidence and clarity.
The downside to this transit is that we can find our brains on overload. With the amountof information we are now processing at speeds much quicker than we are use to, we could feel overwhelmed and get anxiety with all the pressure in our heads. There's also a concern that the impulsiveness of Aries will act on a new idea without allowing the air element to apply logic and long term planning.
Where fire and air are concerned, we need to make sure we don't fan the fire too much as it will burn out of control causing damage where there was never ended to be any.
Our tongues grow sharp under this transit. Aries has a tendency to act now and think later. With the fire rolling off the tongue, we may find ourselves speaking out of turn and causing hurt feelings in others. Be very mindful of the words you are using and the tone you adopt to deliver your messages to others.
We have the opportunity to tap into the beneficial energies of the transit to use to our advantage and start tapping into a new level of truth within ourselves. We also have the opportunity to get burned so definitely act with caution.
As always, if you require any assistance navigating these energies, please book a session online, and I'd be more than happy to help guide you through.

THE HIGH PRIESTESS (02) is the second trump card in the Tarot deck. She embodies the energy of the Moon and the water element of emotion and intuition.

It speaks highly of a strong, powerful woman embracing her struggles and transforming her experiences into a source of power, through nurturing herself.THE HIGH PRIESTESS (02) guards the sacred scrolls of knowledge from the Spiritual world, and when a student is no longer entertained by the material world, it is only then that she will share her secrets.
